Operating Instructions 6 Operating Instructions 1 Safety The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about the following safety instructions. Before Using for the First Time •Refer to the Installation and Connection Instructions further on in this user information. If units are delivered in the winter months at minus temperatures: Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours be- fore putting it into operation. Correct Use The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic washing. If the appliance is used for a wrong purpose or wrongly op- erated, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any dam- ages. Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly for- bidden due to safety reasons. Use only detergent which is suitable for washing machines. Refer to the detergent manufacturers instructions. The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also bear this in mind when washing pre-cleaned washing. Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning. Dyes /dye-removing agents may only be used in the washing machine if the manufacturer expressly permits use of these products. We can- not accept liability for any damage. Use only water from the water mains. Use rain water or service water only if it meets the requirements defined in DIN 1986 and DIN 1988. Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine is in a room subject to possible frost hazards, emergency emptying must be carried out if there is a risk of frost (see the Section Carry- ing out emergency emptying“).
Operating Instructions 7 Safety of Children and Infirm Persons Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm per- sons without supervision. Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly super- vised during operation and never allow children to play with the washing machine - there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it. Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing machines drum. When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard. General Safety Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your special- ist dealer. Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged that the interior of the unit is openly accessible. Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care and maintenance work. Also pull the mains plug out of the socket or, – if it is permanently connected, – switch off the circuit breaker at the household power distribution box or completely remove the screw-in fuse. If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup- ply and shut off the tap. Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always pull the plug itself. Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be used. There is a risk of fire with overheating! Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Risk of electric shock! The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of wash programmes with high temperatures. Do not touch!
Operating Instructions 8 Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump. Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses. Risk of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine. 2 Disposal Disposing of the Packaging Material! Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakka- ging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable. Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbrevi- ations: Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. Disposing of your old appliance! When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer. >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packing films. >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (always CFC-free) >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips.
Operating Instructions 9 2 Environmental tips A pre-wash cycle is not necessary in the case of washing which is not excessively dirt. This saves detergent, water and time (and is gentle on the environment.) If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the wash- ing machine is especially efficient. For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended detergent quantity. Suitable pre-treatment enables marks and limited amounts of dirt to be removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature. Wash slightly to normally dirty cottons with the energy-saving pro- gram. There is often no need for the softener. Try it once! If you use a drier, your washing will become soft and fluffy even without a softener. In the case of medium to high water hardness (hardness range runs to upwards, see Detergent and care agents“), you should use a water softener. The detergent can then always be metered for hardness range I (= soft).
